Know Your Rights Regarding Ladder And Scaffolding Accidents

New Yorkers are rightfully proud of their firefighters and police officers, but where would the city be without the dedicated construction workers who build and maintain the city’s skyscrapers and other commercial real estate?

Unfortunately, construction work comes with a high degree of risk for injury and death, including falls from ladders, scaffolding and other heights. Sections 200, 240(1) and 241(6) of the New York State Labor Law make owners, general contractors and their agents responsible for safety practices at building construction sites. If a construction worker is injured in a fall that is caused in any way by an unsafe ladder or scaffolding, the property owner or general contractor may be held liable for compensatory and punitive damages.
